👋 hi! we promise “must love caffeine” is not a job requirement ☕️🤣🫶🏽

Welcome to Thrive Family Chiropractic. This is our badass team of women holding space for moms, turning the power 💡on for kids and creating a space for families to feel welcome and heard 🤍

From preconception to perimenopause and all the stops in between, our doctors have hours of additional training and certification in women’s health and pediatric wellness.

✨ …the real question is, should we start a moms coffee club?

☕️ see you at the office! Not a coffee person? come get adjusted and enjoy a cup of Sacred Madre Botanicals tea on us! 🍵

✨ Why do we ask birth history for a toddler? Why us our intake form so long? Why does it matter what pregnancy looked like? ✨

Glad you asked!

Recently we had a family come in and mom was a little confused as to why pregnancy and birth history mattered for a 5 year old! 🤯

The simple answer is: because we are looking at the whole health in a whole person!

The longer answer is: why are children being adjusted by other providers, assessed by other providers during the initial stages of life and important things like gait, retained reflexes, oral posture, digestion, allergies not being discussed?!

We see it often where the focus is only on the short term: releasing the lip tie, getting the baby to p**p, latching, sleep thru the night … 👆🏽 these are all important but a small piece of the long term puzzle of pediatric development.

So we ask the questions, we call your providers, we create comanagement plans, we refer to the trusted providers that are experts in their field.

It takes a village for doctors too! ✨ if you are part of ours, we 💕 you so much! Thank you for listening to moms!

Send this to a mom that needs to feel heard, empowered, acknowledged and needs answers. We don’t have them all, but we will walk the journey with you!

👆🏽 UPCOMING EVENT OCTOBER 9th 🎉

🎀 October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, making this the perfect time to take a proactive look at your breast health. We partnered with Total Body Thermography to bring these services to our office for the day!

✨Thermography is a radiation-free and touchless imaging screening that finds inflammation and hot spots in the body. This screening is commonly referred to as a “green screening.” It is completely non-invasive, pain-free, radiation-free and is safe and effective for women with implants or dense breast tissue.

Thermal imaging can identify differences in temperature patterns throughout the body that may be associated with inflammation, infection, vascular concerns, and neurological patterns without radiation, invasive procedures, or harmful chemicals. Although it has become popular with women as a breast health screening, it is effective for both men and women as a safe and easy way to look for dysfunction or to identify the pain source in the body. It is as simple as having your picture taken, except that thermography uses a highly sensitive infrared camera.

Early awareness can lead to earlier conversations, investigation, and intervention.

🙋🏽‍♀️ Schedule your thermography screening and make breast health part of your wellness plan!

Breast screening - $250

Half body screening - $375

Full body screening - $525

HSA/FSA accepted.

📞 Call or Text : Total Body Thermography & Wellness: 502-887-0673 for 10/9 to schedule.

Your health deserves more than waiting for a problem to show up. Get a map. Get informed.

We notice these things ALL the time 👀

And most people don’t realize these small signs are actually connected to your nervous system, your brain and your spine 🤯🤯🤯 misalignments in the spine (subluxations) will send your body signals of dysfunction (re: signs 1-3)

Once you know what to look for, you can start making the right changes.

✨ World Breastfeeding week ✨

As a perinatal provider, we have the privilege of supporting mothers through this beautiful journey, to honor their bodies but also meet them where they are at — the most important thing we do.

👩🏽‍🍼exclusively breastfed, donor milk, combo feeding babies
mothers who induce lactation to feed, exclusively pumping mothers and so much more - please be proud of you

we’ve also seen mothers make some difficult decisions for their families, like choosing to stop breastfeeding to support their mental health — and before you judge, in our office, a FED baby with a happy, present mother is ABOVE EVERYTHING …because who are we to judge how a mother copes with mental health and I would recommend formula any day over a mother that doesn’t want to be there anymore, a mother who wants to walk away, a mother the system may fail her (feel free to unfollow me over this!)✌🏽

As a breastfeeding mom, I pumped/breastfed/used donor milk for 17 months …this is one of the hardest but most rewarding things i’ve ever done.

💙 our journey was not easy and it took a village of friends, providers AND our own patients:

breastfeeding support from The Milk Lab | Lactation Counselor Kristina Hernandez
donor milk from Aisha Georges and 3 other moms
oral/bodywork from Dr. Beverly I Reyes | Infant & Pediatric PT | BF🤱Counselor Doctor Alexa Kent | Pediatric + Perinatal Chiropractic
my pumping partner Ashleigh Creeden who was also breastfeeding at the same time and sat with me in the most random places to pump 🫶🏽🫶🏽🫶🏽

Breastfeeding was the bond i needed to my son that I never got at birth. It was our routine at night and mornings, our little quiet time I will never share again with anyone else. And that is both equally sad and incredibly special.

On the other hand, I bet I have the most interesting list of places I pumped to keep my supply:

NYC subway, parks, the beach, car rides, the gym
countless flights
multiple airport bathroom floors
the VIP section of a NYC nightclub 😬
in between patients at the office and so many more

💛 if you are in this season, we see you and you are not alone. please reach out to our office if you need support! We have a team of IBCLC’s we trust and love!
